Paa Point Anchorage
✨ Hidden gem
Paa Point is a historic Māori pā site on the Hibiscus Coast, giving you that rare combination of a sheltered anchorage and a tangible connection to pre-European New Zealand. Drop the hook here and you're sitting in calm waters with bush-covered headlands around you, quietly removed from the bustle of the Whangaparaoa Peninsula nearby. It's a straightforward anchor-off spot with no shore facilities, so come self-sufficient and enjoy the setting for what it is.
